Tesla has paid more than $1 million to a former black employee.
Melvin Berry won a ruling that the company failed to stop his supervisors from calling him racial slurs at the carmakers California plant.
It brings an end to a years-long fight by Berry, who was hired as a materials handler in 2015 and quit less than 18 months later.
It caps years of complaints by black workers that the electric vehicle maker failed to stop racial slurs on the assembly line.
Tesla denies the allegations in Berry’s case. It says it is “absolutely against any form of discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment of any kind.”
